Music Reviews
TVXQ
I thought myself over and over that I’m surely cursed. That’s because I was not into any of Korean boy-bands, moreover Tvxq that I thought they were good for nothing, but I guess I was wrong and (cursed) because lately I’ve been addicted and listening to their songs every …

MGMT - Hot Love Drama (Song)
Hot Love Drama is a song by MGMT which appears on their debut record, Climbing To New Lows. If you read my review on MGMT’s previous track, Money To Burn, then you’ll have seen that my main complaint against that track was that it felt like it lacked energy, …

Death Magnetic by Metallica
I must precede this by noting that I have loved every Metallica album all the way up to Reload. I am not one of the people who thinks Metallica lost their magic after the black album. While a departure from their original style, “Load” and “Reload” were …
Cannabis Corpse - Dead By Bong (song)
“Dead By Bong” is the 5th song off of Cannabis Corpse album “Beneath Grow Lights Thou Shalt Rise” which was released in 2011. It was produced by Erik Rutan of “Hate Eternal” fame and whom I might add produced some of “Cannibal Corpse” newer albums. In other words, it …
Dean Markley: Misfits Skullbuster Electric Gutar Strings
Sick and tired of breaking 2-4 conventional guitar strings a week, I decided I needed to upgrade to something that can take a real beating without breaking. My playing style goes anywhere from horror punk, like older Misfits music, to deathrock, like Samhain, to rapid hardcore punk, meaning I …
Christina Aguilera feat Alicia Keys - Impossible
This is not the new song from Christina Aguilera but this is my favorite song. In this song she also play with Alicia Keys, a very talented R n B singer too. So, I think this song is very interesting because of the two wonderful singer play in a …
El Camino 2011 Album by The Black Keys
The Black Keys are really hot right now. And I feel sorry that I happened to find out about this band only along with everybody else, during the wave, the tsunami of their breaking into the mainstream, and not earlier than that.
El Camino is a great album, and I …
A Soap Opera Christmas CD

The Flaming Lips - Hit To Death In The Future Head (Album)
Hit To Death In The Future Head is an album by the Flaming Lips and the band’s follow up to In A Priest Driven Ambulance. Although this record starts out in a somewhat weak fashion, I found that it thankfully improved as it went along. The main reason why …
Circus by Britney Spears
Listening to Circus by Britney Spears, I must say that she has definitely improved on her style of singing. Though not that much of an improvement, her songs are mostly trance-like and kind of like an 80’s era or disco kind. You can’t quite put the money on …
Kelly Clarkson’s My December Album
With some trepidation - after all, I had heard BAD things about her latest release - I purchased My December, Kelly Clarkson’s third album.
I’m glad I did.
True, My December is not a lighthearted, American Idol type offering, quite the contrary. It is a hard driving, “woman …
Queen: Greatest Hits
While I’m not a huge Queen fan, I do like several of their songs and believe their music is perfect for when I’m in the car trying to stay awake on my drive to work.
That’s why I was glad to find their Greatest Hits album on sale at Wal-mart …
Not The Half Has Been Told CD of Monica McCoy
“Not the Half Has Been Told” CD by Monica McCoy is one music album that uplifts my soul and spirit. The selections are filled with blessings! Each time I’d hear this music album it made me think that singing songs for Jesus is a worshipping experience. It is not …
CD - Sanctus Real - The Face of Love
The Face of Love CD by Sanctus Real was given to me by a friend. I hadn’t heard of them before, so I was a little unsure as to whether or not I would like this cd. As first listen, I was mildly impressed, but as I listened to …
Dr. Dre 2001- Dr. Dre hip hop album
I had the chance to purchase Dr. Dre 2001, also known as the Chronic 2001 and I thought that it was another classic hip hop album. Granted, it may not have been as good as the Chronic but still the beats were excellent as well as the productions …
The Black Eyed Peas (”musical” group)
Banal pop music is an easy target even for the less than brilliant observers among us, and cultural satirists regularly jab at flash-in-the-pan musical phenomena. Is it always deserved? Or accurate? Or eerily prescient in terms of where such acts are headed in the mainstream musical landscape? Perhaps not. …
Eruption by Eddie Van Halen
If you ever want to check out an awesome piece of guitar work, then I would suggest you listen to Eruption by Guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen. Released on the first Van Halen album, Eruption is 1 and a half minute instrumental album that Eddie originally used as a …
Payphone (Single)- Maroon 5
This song . . . I cannot think of a good adjective to describe it. It is just absolutely incredible. From the tune, to Adam’s fantastic voice, to the meaning of the song, everything is perfect! The first time I heard this I fell in love with it instantly. …
Coldplay: Viva La Vida CD
I, like others I’m sure, mostly bought this CD for its title track, “Viva La Vida”, which remains the strongest song on the album. However, that being said, Coldplay has put together a collection of some rather meaningful and haunting songs, separating this album from their previous releases.
The first …
Barry Manilow CD
Hearing Barry Manilow sing songs from the 70’s was spine-tingling. He’s not only a musical product of the 70’s himself, but he chose some very popular songs of that era to sing for this CD. All the songs are familiar, yet more-so with Barry’s warm vocals. The songs seem …
MGMT - Congratulations (Song)
Congratulations is the third album released by MGMT and their most recent effort thus far. Though I know the band has received some criticism for changing their overall sound on this record in comparison to Oracular Spectacular, I still feel that Congratulations is overall a very good record. To …

Born To Be Somebody- Justin Bieber
I saw the movie Never Say Never, I was a big Justin fan in the summer and it kind of wore off. I did not notice this song in the movie that much, but when he came out with this song on the album I was absolutly blow away. …
Kevin Costner’s Modern West Band
I first heard Kevin Costner’s band Modern West while looking over my MySpace account. A friend had posted something about it and asked me to check it out because I mentor artists worldwide, mostly musicians. She wanted to see what I thought. I went on the band site and listened …
North to Alaska by Johnny Horton
Jonny Horton sings the song North To Alaska. I like this song because it talks about something I have always wanted to do. I have thought about moving to Alaska for about twenty years now. I even went so far as to find land for sale in Alaska. I …
Megadeth - Wake Up Dead (Song)

Lady Gaga: So Happy I Could Die (song)
So happy I could die is a song on Lady Gaga’s new album, The Fame Monster. This is one of my favorite tracks on her new album. I love this song. I completely recommend this song to any Lady Gaga fans. This song is a typical Lady Gaga song …
When your gone by Avril Lavinge
When your gone by Avril Lavinge is a song about how a girl misses her boyfriend when he is gone. To me it is saying he is leaving and she is missing him a lot because the room they share has his side of the bed made up. It …

Kings Of Leon-Charmer (song)
I recently took the time to take some time to listen to a few songs by the band Kings of Leon and there were some songs that I didn’t like and ones that I really liked. One of the songs that came up as a neutral choice was the …
All I Ever Wanted Album by Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson is a former American Idol who recently came out with an album entitled “All I Ever Wanted”. Overall, it is a pretty good album that has produced some solid hits that have been played on the radio a lot.
“All I Ever Wanted”, the song that the album …
Pink Floyd - Burning Bridges (Song)
Burning Bridges is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their record Obscured By Clouds. The track starts off in an extremely mellow and melodic mood with a very light organ melody primarily leading the song as it first starts off. Something interesting about the vocals of this …
Nine Inch Nails - Meet Your Master (Song)
Meet Your Master is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album Year Zero. The track opens up with a very heavy synthesizer rhythm which certainly gives the song a definite electronic feel. Another synthesizer soon joins in which provides a lead for the song, if …
Fast Car (song) Tracy Chapman
Fast Car is a folk rock song from Tracy Chapman from her self titled album. I first thought that Tracy is a woman but when I saw her face in the net I have doubts if she is really a woman. Even in the internet, people are being confused …
Evanescence
I have been a fan of the band Evanescence for a very long time. I love everything about them. The music is amazing and their style reflects it. And even with many band member changes, Evanescence never seizes to amaze me. Their live performances are incredible and will never …
Back Here by BBMak
This UK Band, singing their hit single titled, Back Here is one of the best songs ever sung by this band. And this band is none other than BBMak. I don’t know whether the BB and the Mak should be close or separated, but that’s more or less …
Haste The Day: Dreamer
I recently picked up this CD because I am a huge fan of the band Haste The Day. I was very disappointed however when I listened to it. I really don’t like how the band has gotten away from the style that made it good in the first place. …

Aaliyah’s last, self titled album “Aaliyah” hit the store shelves July 2001. It was long anticipated since her successful “One In A Million” album. Aaliyah took a new direction with it. The album opens up with the first single, “We Need A Resolution” featuring long time …
Get Right of Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez is very popular as singer/musician as well as actress. But especially I like her song “Get right”. It is something that could very well be her best track to date she has produced. Not only me think so. In 2005 she sold 1 million copies of the …
BOSS V-Wah Guitar Effects Pedal
I recently received one of these pedals as a gift and immediately tried it. At first it took a while to get used to it due to all the different effects available. I don’t find this pedal that good as it just changes an effect slightly when you hit …
Disintegration, 1989 Album by The Cure
This album is a very interesting form of musical art. This is one of the deepest and pompous albums that have ever been recorded. There is a song called The Same Deep Water as You on this album, and I think that the concept of depth is really crucial …
